Sub site navigation

Exclude Parent Navigation

A feature in Cascade Server allows a website author to remove a subsection’s (e.g. ADMISSIONS/majors-and-degrees/) parent navigation, that is, any navigation that exists above that subsection within the folder structure. This allows the user to have their subsection’s navigation be local to the current directory. This is useful if the user wants to create a sub site with its own navigation, and exclude the parent site's navigation.

This will give the appearance of a stand alone site to the site's visitors.

To hide a subsection's parent navigation:

Navigate to the desired subsection’s folder (e.g. “/majors-and-degrees/”), and then click Edit.

In the Exclude in parentNavigation? field, select Yes.

Click Submit to save your changes.

The change you just made affected the navigation within your subsection. Therefore, you need to publish the folder that you just edited. This will update all pages’ navigation with the new structure.
